Page 205 Managing the Radio | 205 QoS > Traffic Priority TRAFFIC PRIORITY Default Management Data Priority The Default Management Data Priority controls the priority of the Ethernet management traffic relative to Ethernet customer traffic. It can be set to Very High, High, Medium and Low. The default setting is Medium. This priority is also used for traffic if the remote serial port is not available for the radio hardware data port option e.g.
Page 206 206 | Managing the Radio ETHERNET PRIORITY This parameter controls the per port priority of the Ethernet customer traffic relative to the serial customer traffic. If equal priority is required to serial traffic, this setting must be the same as the Serial Data Priority setting.
Page 207 Managing the Radio | 207 PRIORITY DEFINITIONS PCP (Priority Code Point) These settings provide priority translation / mapping between the external radio LAN VLAN priority network and the radio internal VLAN priority network, using the VLAN tagged PCP (Priority Code Point) priority field in the Ethernet/VLAN frame.
Page 208 208 | Managing the Radio This is done by mapping the external radio network VLAN priority to the internal radio CoS / priority using the ‘PCP priority definition’ tab. The radio support 4 queues, thus at maximum an 8 -> 4 VLAN priority / CoS mapping is done.
Page 209 Managing the Radio | 209 DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) These settings provide translation / mapping between the external radio IP priority network and the radio internal IP priority network, using the DSCP (DiffServ Code Point) priority field in the IP packet header. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a new model in which traffic is treated by routers with relative priorities based on the IPv4 type of services (ToS) field.
Page 210 210 | Managing the Radio This is done by mapping the external radio network DSCP priority to the internal radio CoS / priority levels using the ‘DSCP priority definition’ tab. The radio support four queues, thus at maximum a 64 -> 4 CoS / priority mapping is done.
Page 211 Managing the Radio | 211 QoS > Traffic Classification These settings provide multiple traffic classification profiles based on classification rules. Profiles for a specific traffic type, protocol or application can be assigned to a particular VLAN and CoS / priority in bridge mode or to CoS / priority in router mode to provide the appropriate QoS treatment.
Page 212 212 | Managing the Radio Bridge Mode Traffic Classification Settings TRAFFIC CLASSIFICATION VLAN bridge mode traffic classification settings provide mapping / assigning of profiles (set by rules to match a specific traffic type) to a VLAN ID and VLAN CoS / priority. The profile which is used to match to a specific traffic type will be identified in the radio network by its associated VLAN ID and VLAN CoS / priority to provide the appropriate QoS treatment.
Page 213 Managing the Radio | 213 Assigned VLAN ID Traffic packets that match the applied profile rules will be assigned to the selected ‘assigned VLAN ID’ setting of VLAN ID in the range of 0 to 4095.
